Plumbing in Stoke Newington: what goes wrong and why

Stoke Newington's oldest houses are the Georgian buildings along Church Street, but most of the area was built up in the Victorian period, when large terraces and semi-detached villas spread across the old estates. Bomb damage was heavy in places, and post-war council estates now sit beside the older streets. Many of the big Victorian houses have been split into flats, some with a semi-basement at the bottom, and the oldest homes can still have lead supply pipes and cast-iron soil stacks. Flats above the shops on Church Street and the High Street share drains with the businesses below. The New River ends at the Stoke Newington reservoirs, built in 1833, and the area sits on clay with large street trees and the mature trees of Clissold Park. Thames Water supplies hard water throughout N16.

Most common here: old lead and iron pipework in divided Victorian houses.
